:( Label setup

[Genx]

Ummm, rightio here goes. I want users to be able to print labels. Labels come in different sizes. Most come with avery software codes. After a layout has been generated, is there anyway to respecify its physical body size and column size through script maker, or better yet just respecifying an avery software code?

Cheers,

Hi Genx

Why not just specify the layout as a label layout and specify the avery code then?

Multi client solution...

[Oldfogey]

Are you developing a general distributable solution or one for a fixed base of clients? If the latter, are they independent?

Reason I ask is to see if you can get someone else to impose some discipline.

Alternatively, you could set up multiple layouts for say half a dozen standard label formats.

Almost forgot - the answer to your original question is 'No'.

Lol cheers, yes i think i will have to go with the generating of a couple of standard layouts. I'm sure the clients can just order the label sizes if they cant buy them locally.

Thanks for help and suggestions

By the way could you possibly define what you mean by the following:

"a general distributable solution or one for a fixed base of clients"

Fixed base meaning a certain limited group im designing the solution for and general distributable meaning for general distribution? Then yes it is generally distributable.

Yes, your interpretation of my question was correct.

If you are talking address labels, I reckon you will only need 3 or 4 max. Much as I hate the mongrels, Officeworks have produced a 24-up sheet which FINALLY, AT LONG LAST, allows for the fact that most printers do not print to the edges. (Just when some of them do!) And they're cheap.

Love your (new) disclaimer.

Hehe, thanks for the idea and the appreciation of my disclaimer.
